In this post we confirm that our rigorous standards never slip. ALL employees are qualified to at least NVQ Level 2 in Painting and Decorating. ALL employees are vetted, including DBS checks. This means they have no Police Records of Convictions, Cautions, Reprimands and Warnings. Why is this important? Many of our contacts are in sensitive and high-profile spaces. For example, schools and other public sector buildings, where we might come into contact with elderly or vulnera

Seen so many amazing, beautifully kept buildings In Prague, especially the Jewish quarter and the Old Town. Can’t wait for some better weather to crack on with a few projects for some customers who have been waiting since before Christmas for the weather to improve. As always, the longer you leave outside maintenance the most costly it will be to repair and restore. Regular maintenance pays huge dividends over the long term. #paintnorth #prague

Well, December means only one thing - the elves have been busy at Paint North’s studio and the Leafy Blinders have turned up trying to muscle in on the Grinch’s action... who will save Kevin? #kevinthecarrot #thegrinch #paintnorth #aldi #thelowry #leafyblinders #tameside #bbcnwt #manchestereveningnews @MENnewsdesk #crownpaints #sandtex

Enjoying a quiet night in after another busy week/weekend. I was treated fo this lovely IPA as ‘Paint North always do a ‘proper job’’. Loving this treat - Happy Sunday everyone and remember don’t settle for less, let Paint North do a proper job! #paintnorth #happysunday #properjob

Inevitably this time of year brings challenges in terms of the weather. We are really busy with lots of customers wishing to smarten up the outside of their homes - but we love what we do and we will make sure all works are completed before the clocks change and the weather makes things much more challenging. Protecting paintwork and keeping on top of the outside of your home is just as important as the inside. Don’t let things slide as regular maintenance saves costs in the

We are delighted to share the news that we are finalists for not one, but two awards! Micro Business of the Year and Apprentice of the Year, and we couldn’t be prouder of this recognition of our hard work. The awards will be presented at Dukinfield Town Hall at a gala dinner on Thursday 24 October 2019. We look forward to meeting the other finalists on the night and celebrating the outstanding work from different sectors from across our region. Well done Kieran and best of lu

Wow this was a challenge, finished wall for this lovely customer who had been let down by another contractor. The key issue was the timeframe, we had 1.5 days from sketching the original concept (with the help of our IPad Pro) to completion, to create the bedroom of their son's dreams. Everyone in the family was delighted with the results, and when his new castle themed bed has been installed, as well as his wall turrets and bridge, we are sure to be remembered as the 'knight

It is all too easy to assume that painters hone their specialist skills in some less than creative ways. While that might be true for some, I like to think I’m at my best when challenged to do something that bit differently. As always, I’d welcome your views on my latest piece of art expertly designed and delivered by Paint North. #graffiti #oldskool #paintnorth

Well that's it. Everyone is back at work/home. The weather's rotten. Drab, dull and grey greeted me when I opened my curtains this morning. My blog earlier this week focused on how to avoid common pitfalls in the January sales. Today I'm reviewing some other ideas as to how you can add some life and colour to your home this month, without breaking the bank. Ceilings - when rooms are revamped, these are often neglected. Too many of us have old artex ceilings which instantly da

Love this or loathe it? A pop of colour after 2018 was pretty much dominated by the continuing minimalist white/grey hues. I've re-decorated so many homes which heavily feature both. It's been widely reported that burnt orange will be the hot colour in 2019. I'd be interested to hear my client's views and also offer to help them incorporate this in their homes and offices, without it closing in the room. My view? It certainly makes a statement and brightens up the darkest of

Traditionally, twelfth night is the time we remove all our Christmas decorations, this year that falls over this weekend. Some homes are already stripped. Personally, I love Christmas decorations and I keep mine up as long as possible, who wants to look at a bare home when you have spent up and are starting dry January - not me 😞 However, needs must, as I begin to think about changes in my own home, especially after enjoying the bright colours and lights through December, my
